British Agricultural Returns.
Country Gentleman


The returns of produce, stock, etc, an
nually issued by the agricultural Depart
ment of the Privy Council have just been
issued, and shows the same care which
has hitherto characterized these reports
There is one omission, that in some re-
spects the returns from Ireland are in
complete.
From the returns it is shown that Their Q
is decrease in the area under wheat and
barley, and a further increase in that I'M
der oats.
The total area under wheat is 2,2S6,000
acres, decrease of more than 900
acres, or rs per cent. less than that of
1885, that being the smallest on record.
This great decrease is due to the unre-
munerative prices obtained for products.
Wheat is no longer in England the most
valuable crop, the place being taken by
oats, which in 1886 covered 3,OS1 800
acres in great Britain, or 141 900 acres in
excess of 1885, and the largest area since
the returns were first issued. Barley
shows a total of 2,241, 900 acres in Great
Britain, the decrease being 10000 acres,
or OF per cent. from last year.
With the exception of 1884, this is the
SMALLEST area recorded. Rye shows an
increase of 5000 acres, but winter beans
large decrease. The corn crop of
Great Britain shows total decrease of
nearly 1872 900 acres, or 1.6 per cent. less
than in 1885, and 1874 500 acres, or 10.2
per cent. less than in 1876.
OF green crops, potatoes show an in
crease of $500 acres, or nearly l per
cent. increase over 1885: turnips and
swedes a decline of u 100 acres; mangolds
a decline of 500, and others in proper
ton, showing total decrease in green
crops of Al, 900 acres from last year.
Hops show very small decrease.

Mundacsy.
The Museum of Art of Detroit has &C

Children at able.


The fact that SO many adults, even
persons of culture, have wrong habits in
eating, coupled with that of the initiative
tendency of children, affords one of the
many arguments of the presence of very
little ones at the common table. Haste
in eating is naturally accompanied by
haste in feeding on the part of mother or
nurse, which is frequently the cause of
the afterh 'bit, in the child, of taking too
large mouthfuls and swallowing them too
fast.
Often an otherwise careful mother, per-
haps preoccu pied with conversation, or
anxious to be free to do something else,
will give her child such large and freq uent
mouthsfCl that after it has grown to the
self feeding age the practice is continued
and the habit fixed. Perhaps children
are naturally inclined to eat too fast; it
certainly is common fault, and one
which may be avoided by deferrine the
self-feeding and letting the mother, by
patient, deliberate feeding, aid the child
in forming correct habits. Neither
should this duty be left to an ignorant
or to thoughtless nurse, who may have
her own reasons for haste. Care in
this matter may seem to cost too much
time, but the result will be worth ell the
exnense

AS Florence says this. she takes up
her candlestick and moves quickly to
ward the door.
Stay. l will CO." cries Dora tremb-
ling But slight interruption occur
ring at this instant, they are compelled
to wait for awhile.
Ethel VillierS. coming into the room
to make her parting adieus to Mrs.
Talbot. as she and her father intend
leaving next morning, gazes anxiously
from Florence to Dora, seeing plainly
that there is something amiss.
What is it?" she asks kindly, going
up to Florence.
Miss Delmaine. after little hesita-
ton, encouraged by glance at Dora's
terrified countenance, determines on
taking the newcomer into their conf
dence.
In few words she explains all that
has taken place, and their suspicion.
Ethel, though paling beneath the hor-
ror and surprise occasioned by the re-
the old fairness of his features. His
clothes are hanging loosely about him;
his hands, limp and neryeless, are ly-
ing by his side. Who shall tell what
agony he has suffered during these past
lonely days with death-an awful,
creeping, gnawing death staring him
in the face?
A deadly silence has fallen upon the
little group now gazing solemnly down
upon his quiet form. Florence, hold
ing him closely to her heart, is gently
rocking him to and fro; as though she
will not be dissuaded that he still lives.
At length Captain Ringwood, StOop-
ing pitifully over her, loosenS her hold
SO far as to enable him to lay his hand
upon Sir Adrian's heart. After mo-
ment, during which they all watch him
closely, he starts, and, looking still
closer into the face that a second ago
he believed dead, he says, with sub
dued but deep excitement
There may yet be time! He breathes
his heart beats! Who will help me to
carry him out of this dungeonY
He shudderS as he glances round him.
Il Will" replies Florence calmly.
These words of hope have steadied
her and braced her nerves. Ethel and
Mrs. Talbot, carrying the lamps, go on
before, while Ringwood and Florence,
having lifted the senselesS body of Ad-
rian, now indeed sufficiently light to be
an easy burden, follow them.
Reaching the corridor, they cross it
hurriedly, and carrying Adrian up
back staircase that leads to Captain
Ringwood's room by a circuitous route,
they gain it without encountering
single soul, and lay him gently down
on Ringwood's bed, almost at the very
moment that midnight chimes from
the old tower, and only a few minutes
before Arthur Dynecourt steals from
his chamber to make that last visit to
his supposed victim.
To be continued.

Large Horses for the Farm.

There can be no doubt but that the i'm
portation of French, English and Scotch
draft horses has greatly improved the
standard of the farm horses in this coun-
try. While pure or nearly pure blood
horses for these breeds may prove too
large for farm work, it is quite certain
that the native horses, on the whole, are
too small, at least for the west. The in
PRODUCTION of self-binding reapers, sulky
plows and other implements of heavy
draft, has created an increased demand
for heavier horses for farm work. While
in the way of general utility, activity
and strength, our native horses are very
good, it is evident that they can not
cope with larger horses in doing the
heavier part of the farm work, with the
machinery and implements now in use
Progressive farmers see the wisdom of
crossing with the large and powerful for
eign breeds.
The result of these crosses can now be
seen in nearly every part of the country.
1t is doubtless if the sulky pillow, self
binding reaper, and many other useful
implements, would be in so general use
to day, were it not for such causes. An
other thing in their favor is that surplus
stock can always find ready sale. Indeed
so great is the demand for grades of draft
breeds in the cities and in the lumber
camps of the north, and prices offered
are so tempting to farmers, and they
find it difficult to retain a team of such
horses for their own use. The great i'll
crease in the Importation of draft horses
for breading purposes shows that the
popular demand for them is general and
permanent.

Cows that have no bedding are often

slippery.
There is annually large amount of
bogus butter made in the churn, owing to
lack of skill, care and proper tempera-
ture in churning.
Lay in your stock OF seeds for the next

There is nothing better for the manure
heap than soapsuds. 1t prevents fire.

ADAUNTLESS EXPLORER.
Going Forth to Discover the Yellowstone Parl
| and Pulitzer Falls.
New York Commercial Advert iser.


New York Commercial Advertiser
That indefatigable explorer, ex-Lieut
Frederick Schwatka, the discoverer of
Alaska, has organized another expedition
and is about to go forth on snowshoes
and discover the national park in the
Yellowstone valley, in the interest of our
highly esteemed young contemporary,
The World. This expedition consists of
Lieut.. Schwatka with a photographic pen
and a ream of fOolscap, accompanied by
the president of the Buffalo Snowshoe
club and the vice president of the Lon
don Snowshoe club, an artist, scientist
and photographer, who is to take their
pictures in group, with the Pulitzer
Falls-as the tower cataract is probably
to be re-christened-i the back
grou2d.
Now, while we hesitate to discourage
enterprise upon the part of our young
contemporaries, yet we feel called upon
to suggest to The World that it is s1per-
fluous to discover the Yellowstone park
again so soon, and that a man could be
hired 20 do the work, if necessary on the
jOu mails on premises at a less expense
than Lieut.. Schwatka is sure to bring up
on it.
ilS tllllHS CoSb VI BuIut DoOh duu
the wages of good copyist arc all
the expense that the most thorough equip
ped expedition for the exploration of the
park ought to bring upon newspaper;
and the presidents and vice. presidents of
the snowshoe clubs, the artists, scientists
and photographers are one and all super
huities.
The Putnams have even published q
guide book with illustrations, from which
the photographer of the expedition might
easily take Pulitzer Falls with a group of
explorers on an adjacent bank without
leaving his studio, just as the dry-goods
clerk may obtain counterfeit present
ment of himself sitting beside his sweet
heart enjoying the festivities of Coney
Island without either of them going any
farther than to Bowery photographers
shop.
There is another circumstance to be
taken into consideration and that is the
greater degree of comfort with which
one may thus explore at long range.
If Lii ut. Schwatka is foolish enough to
personally venture into the park at this
season of the year; it s quite probable
that he may catch cold, since the hotel
Accommodations do not com pare favorabIy
with those of New York and the Euro
pean capitals We trust that the expedi-
ton will consider these things that The
World may devote the saving in expense
to charity.
We violate no confidence when we pro-
nounce as baseless the story that Lieut..
Schwatka has been employed by The Sun
TO explore Central park and discover the
Dana obelisk upon his return from the
Worlds expedition.
